Wait, did I just read Marcus Garvey was a klansman c'mon son that is not what I got from reading that.
so P Present P Present keep your strawman arguments on WEB Dubois and Edgar Hoover about how they didnt like him because he was BLACK FIRST.
AFRICA and BLACK PEOPLE AT LARGE LOVES GARVEY, its quite sad you tried to present this petty argument against him.
Jesus I feel sorry for you. Have a great day gents, and remember love your brothers regardless if they American, Caribbean, or African.
Add Sankara to the listGarvey may be a bit too extreme because he wasnt down with the bourgeoisies of the NCAAP and WEB Dubois.
When he got too powerful, they conspired with the FBI to try and take him down.
Also, Garvey main goal wasnt just for American blacks, but instead for all BLACK WORLDWIDE ESPECIALLY AFRICA
KIEREINI: Garvey’s influence on Africa was huge
Activist turned to quotes from the Bible to push his case for Africans.www.businessdailyafrica.com
Marcus Garvey is an important part of African history in several ways. He led the largest ever black political movement in history, and his slogan “Africa for Africans” exemplified the primary mission of African politico-economic liberation, black control of religious, educational and cultural institutions and an audacious view that linked the destiny of Africa and its diasporas.
Garvey was part of a centuries-long history of diasporic blacks that sought re-connection with, and return to, the African continent akin to the biblical return to Canaan of the Jews. For continental Africans, Garveyism became a vehicle to express popular discontent with white rule, to animate and, in some cases, reinvigorate their political organisations, trade unions to create and control black-led churches and schools and to spark a prophetic liberationist Christianity that placed godly black people at the centre of a divinely-ordained historical drama that would lead to African redemption.
While most mentorship relationships happen between people who are close to one another, it is possible for them to happen between people who have never met. This kind of mentorship takes place where as a mentee, you actively seek out information about a mentor and then model your actions on those of the mentor.
Marcus Garvey, one of the greatest leaders of the Pan-African movement, was one such mentor who indirectly mentored many African leaders through his teachings. The leaders actively used his teachings in colonial and postcolonial Africa. Here are 5 African leaders who greatly benefited from the teachings of the great Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr.
- Patrice Lumumba
The first elected Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Patrice Lumumba is remembered for his great contribution towards the end of the colonial rule of Belgians in Congo. He was a great supporter of Pan-Africanism and strongly advocated for the end of colonial rule in Africa. Just like his mentor Marcus Garvey, Lumumba envisioned a united Congo which was free of colonial and external influences. He advocated for strong African structures and governance systems, which would help Africans and more specifically the people of Congo, navigate their own unique circumstances.
- Nelson Mandela
Seen as the father of modern South Africa, Mandela remains a political icon across the world. He famously led the anti-apartheid movement, which ushered in African leadership in South Africa. Mandela often stated that he admired Marcus Garvey and was a keen student of his teachings on Pan-Africanism. Mandela was greatly involved in African Nationalist politics and vehemently fought for an end to racial segregation in South Africa.
- Steve Biko
Another South African on the list, Steve Biko was a key figure in the anti-apartheid movement, which returned power to black South Africans. He is remembered as one of the founders of South Africa’s Black Consciousness Movement, which was influenced by the teachings of Marcus Garvey and advocated for African Nationalism.
- Kwame Nkrumah
Kwame Nkrumah is one of Ghana’s iconic leaders, having led the push to the end of colonial rule in the country. Nkrumah first encountered Marcus Garvey’s work when he was a college student in the United States and they greatly influenced his version of the struggle for an independent Ghana. Due to So influential was Garvey on Nkrumah, that the later went ahead to name the national shipping line, ‘The Black Star Line’ and Ghana’s flag has a black star in the middle.
- Jomo Kenyatta
Finally, our very own Jomo Kenyatta was a student of Garvey’s teachings of unification and Pan-Africanism. Kenyatta, Kenya’s first Prime Minister and later, president, was greatly influenced by the teachings of Garvey on African pride and made efforts to create a unified Kenya after independence, his vision being the social and economic development of the country.
Marcus Garvey had a tremendous impact on the lives of millions of people across the world. Through his teachings and ideologies, he mentored many people who formed various political organisations based on his ideologies. His greatest impact was on different liberation movements across the world, and especially in Africa, where many countries were clamouring for independence.
oh this is MLK on Garvey
MLK: Marcus Garvey Was the First
Posted on April 1, 2013
On June 20, 1965 Martin Luther King Jr. visited Jamaica to speak at a valedictory service for the University of the West Indies. The next day he was given the Keys to the City of Kingston where he noted that “in Jamaica I feel like a human being.” Dr. King expressed pride in being among his “brothers and sisters on this wonderful island.”. Before he left Jamaica, the courageous outspoken preacher made one last stop to visit the grave of national hero Marcus Garvey to lay a wreath out of respect for the person who… “was the first man of color to lead and develop a mass movement. He was the first man on a mass scale and level to give millions of Negroes a sense of dignity and destiny. And make the Negro feel he was somebody.”
Also this was X on Garvey
so P Present keep your strawman arguments on WEB Dubois and Edgar Hoover about how they didnt like him because he was BLACK FIRST.

This is a "Black Culture thread." The person that started this, myself, and likely the majority of people that clicked on this thread probably associates "Black culture" w/ Black Americans. This is technically a Black American thread.That's the thing... I'm not sure I can define black culture. Is that an issue? I don't know, which is why I thought it would be a good idea for us to discuss it here.
And I was referring to "Blacks in America"
Damn Khufu!!!
Mans came through like Romelo in Sugar Hill!!
